    Reissue? It had a hard time getting released in the first place. :sly2:

    Just pre-ordered one.

    I already have Exhaust, but that's a great price. I'm also intrigued about the point regarding an all new paint scheme. I'm sure it's nothing, but one can dream!

    I think it's a follow over cut and paste from their original listing. Meaning it's got a different paint scheme to MP-20 Wheeljack.

    Somebody's watching the secondary market. ;)  This is great for those who need another shot at him. I was so thankful I got him with no hassle from a seller in the U.S. Although since then, I've used him to get at least a dozen kids into smoking, so maybe Altria is right.

    So what are the odds of mainstream stores like BBTS getting the reissue? Oh right, Marlboro are dicks (aside from the whole giving you cancer thing).

    The release date is just next month. The stocks are probably produced and ready to go now.

    I'm guessing this might be the original production run with the earlier advertised deco that they changed at the last minute and postponed the release from Feb to Mar for.

    TakaraTomy's legal department now probably deems that deco safe to release and they are now letting go of that stock.

    Would also explain why AE says the stock is limited.

    If they didn't sell it last time, I'm guessing that they won't this time either. To be honest though, the price at AE is so good I personally wouldn't even be tempted to look elsewhere anyway...

    I'm considering getting this and I don't collect figures that weren't on screen.

    I'd definitely want to buy repro labels for him if they make them. And I might have to fix that Marlboro hood.

    Intriguing the pics are of the old deco and the text about a new colour scheme, but as above probably just a copy over from original preorder before the fiasco.

    But boy will I kick myself if this is the old deco and I miss it.

    Naaaaaaah cant be. Right?

    If it helps your decision-making, Eness/ Ocean have just announced a set for him, which also helps fix the deco':
    Aliexpress.com : Buy Eness detail decals for MP23 Exhaust (Lancia Stratos Turbo) from Reliable decal sheet suppliers on Uncle Billy | Alibaba Group

    I have one on order as well as a reissue.

    Or could it...? :lol 

    Probably not, though. :wink:

    I lucked out and was able to snag 4 from three different places. But I'd be more intrigued if the coin ever makes it out to retail...

    What's also weird is this super accelerated release date. Next month? Anime-Export's whole preorder window is 4 days, it ends this Friday. They have 2 new MP releases, scheduled at the same time; if I were laying out the calendar I'd schedule this for December.

    I had read from some members here that Exhaust was very sought after in Japan too.
